Bill Hader and Ali Wong have ended their relationship after two years together, according to a new report.

The actors and comedians, who made their romance public in April 2023, have reportedly decided to part ways amicably as they shift focus toward their professional commitments and families.

A source told People that the split was largely driven by scheduling challenges. Wong is preparing for an upcoming stand-up tour, while Hader has multiple film and television projects lined up for the year. “It was too difficult to make the relationship work,” the insider said, adding that both remain supportive of each other despite the breakup.

Representatives for Hader and Wong have not publicly commented on the report. However, sources emphasize that the separation was friendly, with the former couple described as remaining in touch and continuing to prioritize their children alongside their careers.

Speculation about possible strain in the relationship surfaced in 2025 when Wong attended the Golden Globes without Hader and did not mention him during her acceptance speech. At the time, Hader’s team stated that he was unable to attend due to a health issue and that the couple was still together.

Hader and Wong had previously made several public appearances as a couple, including attending the 2024 Golden Globes, where Wong won for her role in Netflix’s Beef, and the Peacock premiere of Laid later that year.

Wong, who divorced her ex-husband Justin Hakuta in 2022, has spoken openly about maintaining an unconventional but close relationship with him. In her 2024 Netflix special Ali Wong: Single Lady, she also reflected on finding love again, referencing her relationship with Hader without naming him directly.

The split marks the end of one of Hollywood’s more low-key high-profile relationships, with both stars continuing to focus on upcoming projects.
